I have had my reservations about the up coming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3d animated feature. I have always been a big fan, but time and time again I see it get washed down for a preteen target audience. Some incarnations have a little more edge, but still aimed at the same demographic.
When I saw the first trailer for TMNT, I was all pumped about it. It looked dark and gritty. No surfer turtles. No goofiness. Then one of them falls into a dumpster and skips off a one shot gag. Sigh.
Now I caught wind of an extended trailer that is being labeled as a Featurette, and while it gives away a LOT of the plot, we see a lot of stuff that actually makes the movie look like it will be pretty damned cool. There is still some campiness to it, and its still clearly aimed at kids. But it looks to have a lot that someone like me can still enjoy as well.
I have to warn you. This falls pretty close to the SPOILER category as it may give away a little TOO much about the plot. Watch it if you dare, but you are warned.
Click here to see the featurette. Its pretty cool.
